I suggest you bring the glass in during the winter months. I did not and the glass all broke and I had a difficult time getting all the pieces picked up. Learned a lesson, will bring in my new one next year.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

I'm using indoors. I'm sure heat would be ok, not sure about freezing temps.

If the room is well insulated and the outside temperature is in the 30 degree range it wil probably heat it reasonably well. There are to many variables for a really accurate response.

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.

When we are not using it we turn it down to 86 then turn it up hours before use. It can go as low as you want 50's and if it is outside it can go as low as the temperature that it is exposed to if heater is not on. But you run risk of it freezing and thus popping the tub since it is inflatable. Like I said we keep it at 86 when not in use and even in very cold temps outside it is able to maintain the 86

Oh I really don't think so, the cover is not water tight and has vents for heat to escape.... I'm sure if installed in a cold weather area it would freeze up... It's a fine indoor product and has saved us money on our water bill, and a little on our gas bill... Electric bill went up 3 dollars a month...

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower. In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

Yes. You can use it in the summer !!! . I have and have had no heating problems whatsoever. Basically you feel its magic when its actually cold. So don't worry ! ;)

Yes, ours only really works in the summer (warmer weather) There are about 3 months in the year we have to shower upstairs where we have a tank style heater still. Crazy is we live in Texas. Can't see this heater working in colder climates. I would never buy one of these again.

I've only used it once or twice in the heat of the summer, and it took all morning and afternoon to heat the water to about 100 degrees. I doubt it would work satisfactorily in the winter. My advice would be to invest in a camp stove, the more Btu/hr the better, and heat your bath water that way, or learn to enjoy being grungy and stinky.

I live in Southern California I haven't used the heater in months. But when it does get cold enough to use it I might have to adjust the heater setting to blow air out of the floor/window vents.

D S glembin' s idea (posted here) on how to position tub might work well and would b nice during winter time. However, I would still be worried about bathroom getting dirty from doggies shaking off water from their fur, the bigger the dog, the worse.

maybe under a covered porch. depending where you live, you may not want to leave it out during winter

I don't really know because I am not using it outside, but I think it might freeze up if it is not too sunny during the winter. I think you probably need something with a heater or that has constant power so it runs continuously.

Yes. I have both the large and small (like this one) ones on my deck. Put an old blanket or straw inside to keep them off the bare floor. I do have the heaters in them since I'm in Montana. I've seen four snuggled in there during bad weather. The only things I have against them is the clear plastic door (extra purchase) doesn't last long before it gets stiff and they let rain in the door-its needs more of a overhang and could be made smaller.
